Hogwarts: Breaking off the engagement at the beginning and marrying Hermione instead

Chapter 62

After complimenting him, Snape stopped talking and got down to business.

"I heard from your father that you wanted to learn Occlumency?

Can you tell me why?"

"I'm afraid someone will read my thoughts."

Brown said bluntly.

Snape was a master of occlumency and also very good at Legilimency.

"You mean what you say, very good. Then let's start teaching.

First of all, do you know about Occlumency?"

"I've read some books that say that to practice Occlumency you need to clear your mind and not think about anything."

"Yes, this is indeed the most basic form of brain occlumency. Not thinking, not remembering, not feeling, in order to prevent the Legilimency master from feeling your emotions and thoughts.

The more advanced brain occlumency is to only block your specific thoughts, emotions and memories, thus creating an impeccable"illusion" for the Legilimency master.

And to practice it, you first need to have resistance to Legilimency.

Are you ready?

Braun.

I'm going to enter your brain and we're going to see how strong you are."

"Of course, sir."

"Now, prepare... Legilimency!"

After getting Braun's permission, Snape waved his wand and shot a white and transparent beam of light at Braun's head.

Because he had prepared in advance, Braun only felt as if something had entered his brain and was about to read his thoughts.

He tried his best to resist but was as weak as a baby.

However, the light did not stay, and after finding that Braun was unable to resist, it left Braun's mind.

""You look a little weak, Brown.

It seems you must work harder to resist Legilimency."

Snape was not surprised.

A wizard's mental strength becomes stronger with age.

It is rare for a young wizard to be able to withstand his Legilimency for so long.

""Okay, sir."

Brown panted.

The resistance just now was even more tiring for him than brewing the potion.

If he hadn't already finished brewing the potion that he was supposed to brew today, he would even worry that he didn't have the energy to continue brewing the potion.

"Next, I will tell you something about Legilimency.

These things can help you better understand the brain block.

First of all, just like the brain block master, the wizard who is proficient in Legilimency is usually called the Legilimency Master.

These Legilimency Masters can often read the other party's mind through eye contact.

But in some cases, it is easier to use the Legilimency spell directly.

If the target is not using the brain block.

Then the Legilimency Master can know whether the other party is lying by prying into the other party's mind, and study their thoughts, emotions and memories.

Even to affect the memory of the invaded.

The only resistance to Legilimency is the brain block.

And if you want to practice the brain block, you must first empty your mind, Braun.

You can try it.

Just like I said, don't think, don't remember, don't feel. Imagine that you are a lifeless stone."

Braun wanted to close his eyes. But he was stopped by Snape:

"Look at me, Braun.

Look into my eyes and don't close them, or you will never learn the art of brain occlumency."

Braun obeyed.

But he felt that it was too difficult.

There were always some complicated thoughts in his mind that disturbed him.

He couldn't help thinking about something.

"Don't think about anything!

Are you thinking about a little girl? Forget those thoughts!"

"Potions? Even though you brewed them well, this is not the time for potions!"

"I told you to put aside your emotions!

Proud, emotional fools, who cannot control their emotions, indulge in sad memories.

They allow themselves to be easily stimulated - they cannot control themselves, and such people have no resistance to Legilimency!"Snape kept on giving warnings while exposing Braun's thoughts.

The teaching lasted for almost two hours.

After it was over, not only Braun felt tired, but Snape was not much better.

Legilimency, as a superb magic, consumes a lot of magic power for wizards. Not to mention that Snape used it continuously.

"Well, today's teaching ends here. We will continue tomorrow."

"I feel like I can still hold on."

Snape frowned and scolded:

"Being strong is not a good habit.

A good wizard knows how to recognize himself.

See you tomorrow, Braun. I hope you can hold on longer than today."

"Yes, I mean I will."

Brown replied.

Downstairs.
